Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I'll still be posting the rest of my reviews on each individual item, but for anyone who doesn't want to wait (which is totally understandable), I would say while it is super cool and immersive, unless you like wearing merch out in public or you know what you want to do with the physical copies of everything: get the digital version. Yes, it doesn't come with any keychains or cinch bags or pens, BUT it's a LOT cheaper. Your $60 would honestly be better spent on three months' worth of the obsessed teir where you could have gotten three personalized letters and a cassette tape with audios of your choosing. Maybe I'm just upset because this is my first time buying merch, and I absolutely would have gotten the digital version had I known it was even coming out, but I feel like enrollment bundle became a lot less cooler once the digital version came out for $6.
There's still something to be said about immersion of it all. Having a world that normally only exists digitally, auditorily becoming something physical. I honestly love that type of stuff, and I'll still hold onto the items I got with excitement and wonder.
Some people may have earlier noticed that part 3 didn't look quite right. Most of my edits didn't save, so there were few pictures and bullet points that may have not made sense. Once I rewrite my review of the product, I will make the post public again.
Damien's last name is Rhone btw
Part 1 Part 3
I'll be making my judgments of the items based on three categories:
1) Quality: Did I get my money's worth?
2) Immersion: Does this feel like something I'd find at D.A.M.N.?
3) Subtlety: Is this something I will use in my day-to-day life?
Up next is the pen. I will be using this for my serving shift tomorrow and no one can stop me. Subtly is 100/10. I would absolutely use this anywhere and everywhere. Not a lot of people care about what company is on a pen and not many people would be willing to ask questions.
This is really nitpick-y, but there is a small mark on the back of the pen that I can't wipe off. I don't really mind it, but I definitely don't care for it.
The material is kinda rubber-y, similar to the material the stylus is made out of. The stylus works fine, it is a little short, so the pen would occasionally hit my screen if I wasn't careful. Here's a picture I drew with the stylus.
I also wanted to test the quality of the pen's writing. It's honestly, kind of your average pen. The writing quality is about the same as the one in your kitchen drawer who's ink is halfway used up and who's cap has been missing for years. So it writes fine, but the distribution of the ink is uneven, as can be seen in the following pictures. On the top is the writing with the pen I got from the bundle; on the bottom is one of my favorite pens, which (in my opinion) is really good quality.
Immersion wise, this is definitely a pen I could see D.A.M.N. giving out to new students. I like the design and the sleekness of it. It's simple, but that's all it really needs to be and it knows it.
Quality 5/10
Immersion 10/10
Subtly: 10/10
(I'll be posting more tomorrow. Part three will be about the patch and keychains. Part four will be about the letters. Part five SHOULD be the rest of what was included, and there will be a final part with my final thoughts and overall rating of the quality of the bundle.)
I just want to start off by saying that I don't usually review things, nor do I usually post anything. But, I was super excited about getting it in and none of my friends are in the redactedverse fandom, so......
I still want to make sure I give quality reviews, so in order to get as much detail as I can, I'd like to split the review into separate parts. Part one is about the drawstring bag.
I'll be making my judgments of the items based on three categories:
1) Quality: Did I get my money's worth?
2) Immersion: Does this feel like something I'd find at D.A.M.N.?
3) Subtlety: Is this something I will use in my day-to-day life?
Let's begin!
First up! The drawstring bag. This thing was honestly a lot bigger than I imagined (see snake LPS for scale). Of course, because it was folded to fit the the packaging, it was wrinkled, which I don't really mind. It honestly probably would have ended up that way anyway.
One thing I noticed right off of the bat is that it has this bumpy texture. Honestly, I know I've seen this material used on a drawstring bag that a college was giving out for free to advertise for their institution (that was really wordy sorry). It definitely feels like something I would get from a college, so immersion is 10/10 here.
Subtly, I'll give it a 6/10. I'd wear it around my friends when we hang out and maybe to a grocery store, but probably not around my family.
Quality: 8/10
Immersion: 10/10
Subtly: 6/10
Okay, not to spoil anything, but I think Damien just got a last name drop? Unless it already happened, and I'm just a silly little goose.
MY D.A.M.N. ENROLLMENT BUNDLE CAME IN HOLY SHIT!!!! (Review of it coming later tonight)
Screw Hogwarts, I'm going to D.A.M.N.
Taking, yet another, 180 on what I'm yapping about on my blog to bring you:
Office Siren Dear
Second oldest in the damn crew (Gav is the oldest & 34) at 32
When they left their old school like at least 10 of their students cried
They cried in their car on the way home after their last day
I am a "Dear is Kody's older sibling & he's been long dead to them" truther
Didn't know exactly who Kody did it to until FL told them
They found him and beat his ass (again) after
The only one Damien let's in the kitchen with him
That one sarcastic ass teacher everyone loves
Is secretly obsessed with sharks (they have what is basically a shark shrine in their house)
Is either dressed to the 9s or is in the stupidest shirt with the most hideous print pants known to man, there's no in between
Can, has, and will pick up Lasko bridal style
Took Lasko/poly DAMN crew to an underwater cave as a date once
Has an IKEA shark that ends up in damn near every cuddle pile the damn crew has
Will argue for hours about how water tastes like something and that there are different tastes
Would be a professional diver if they weren't a professor
Wears glasses even though they can see almost perfectly fine without them
I'm sorry but I'll I can think about is the Damn Crew in a Airbnb and FL & Gav are being FL & Gav (aggressively making out & getting way to touchy for the fact that their best friends are on the other side of a wall) and Damien just yelling "STOP TRYING TO FUCK EACH OTHER" from across the Airbnb😭
I need, not want, poly DAMN crew content with Co-worker!!!

Spoilers for Friendsgiving 2023
THE SILENCE FOR CO-WORKER & FL TALKING WAS SENDING ME!!
Hux's "their really hitting it off" honey, it'd be dead silence if there wasn't boom ass music playing in the background
Also, "a really destructive orgy" is now the main reason why I ship the DAMN crew as a polycule, bc joking about doing it with all of your best friends is totally something a normal friend group does(ik their not normal but still)
